“…21 Provider recommendation has been shown to be the most important predictor of obtaining an HIV test among adolescents. 24,25 Our results support the importance of provider recommendation because 80% of young adults who were ever tested for HIV last tested in a clinical setting.…”

“…The American Academy of Pediatrics and U.S. CDC recommend routine HIV testing for all individuals aged 13-64. 91 Campaigns using social marketing to promote and normalize HIV testing among youth have shown success at increasing HIV testing. 54 In addition, venue-based testing promoting HIV testing in social venues where highrisk youth congregate are effective in identifying high proportions of previously undiagnosed youth. 92 Increasing promotion, convenience, and availability of HIV testing demonstrates high uptake rates among youth.…”

“…49 However, observational studies report lower suppression rates ranging from 46% to 59%. [50][51][52][53] Comparatively, adult first-line ART regimens report viral suppression rates between 79% in observational studies 54 and 85-98% in clinical trials. 52,[55][56][57][58] By combining recent studies of potent ART regimens in adolescents and young adults, we estimate that only 51% achieve viral suppression to less than 400 copies/ml as indicated in Table 1.…”

Little is known about how adolescents and young adults contribute to the declines in the cascade of care from HIV-1 diagnosis to viral suppression. We reviewed published literature from the Unites States reporting primary data for youth (13-29 years of age) at each stage of the HIV cascade of care. Approximately 41% of HIVinfected youth in the United States are aware of their diagnosis, while only 62% of those diagnosed engage medical care within 12 months of diagnosis. Of the youth who initiate antiretroviral therapy, only 54% achieve viral suppression and a further 57% are not retained in care. We estimate less than 6% of HIV-infected youth in the United States remain virally suppressed. We explore the cascade of care from HIV diagnosis through viral suppression for HIV-infected adolescents and young adults in the United States to highlight areas for improvement in the poor engagement of the infected youth population.

“…13 Mass media campaigns, often included as part of the NHTD activities, can help address these barriers. Studies that evaluated the effects of mass media campaigns have shown significant Public Health Reports / September-October 2014 / Volume 129 improvements in information-seeking for HIV testing among African American women, 14 hotline calls about and receipt of HIV testing among adolescents, 15 and recall of HIV testing-related campaign material and HIV testing at partner clinics among Latinos. 16 However, while another study was able to test thousands of people and identify hundreds of people living with HIV, awareness of the campaign was limited.…”

Objectives. We assessed if HIV testing and diagnoses increased during the week of National HIV Testing Day (NHTD) and if characteristics of people who were tested varied compared with control weeks.Methods. We analyzed HIV testing data from the 2010 National HIV Prevention Program Monitoring and Evaluation system to compare NHTD week (June 24-30, 2010) with two control weeks (January 7-13, 2010, and August 12-18, 2010) for the number of HIV testing events and new HIV-positive diagnoses, by demographics and other HIV-related variables. Characteristics associated with testing during NHTD week compared with control weeks were identified using Chi-square analyses.Results. In 2010, an average of 15,000 more testing events were conducted and 100 more new HIV-positive diagnoses were identified during NHTD week than during the control weeks (pϽ0.001). Compared with control weeks, people tested during NHTD week were significantly less likely to be aged 20-29 years and non-Hispanic white and significantly more likely to be (1) aged Ն50 years, (2) non-Hispanic black or African American, (3) men who have sex with men, (4) low-risk heterosexuals, (5) tested with a rapid HIV test, or (6) tested in a non-health-care setting.Conclusion. In 2010, CDC-funded HIV testing events and new HIV-positive diagnoses increased during NHTD week compared with control weeks. HIV testing programs increased the use of rapid tests and returned a high percentage of test results. NHTD campaigns reached populations disproportionately affected by HIV and further expanded testing to people traditionally less likely to be tested. Incorporating strategies used during NHTD in programs conducted throughout the year may assist in increasing HIV testing and the number of HIV-positive diagnoses.
